The real story here isn't Ben Carson being an idiot, it's @AyannaPressley's passionate defense of safe, stable public housing. To see pictures of a home's walls covered in thick mold, to think of a child with tumors ineligible for treatment because his home is unsafe... 🤬 twitter.com/nowthisnews/st…

This is not the oppression Olympics. I support the liberation, economic & restorative justice of all Black people & I do that work every single hour, every day & I support reparations. I am 4mos in legislating, organizing to undo generations of harm to #ADOS. Stay tuned & engaged

This clip is from 1 of 3 cmte hearings I am participating in today, it was w/the Secy of the Treasury hence the line of questioning. Right now I am in an Oversight & Reform Cmte hearing about facial recognition technology, which also disp impacts black folks.

I speak on it, work on it every single day, damn near every hr. That disparity & injustice is why I ran & what I am working on in Financial Services Cmte, hence my push for modernizing the CRA 2 incl race specific lang. to stop the practice of redlining + I support reparations

.@AyannaPressley rips into Ben Carson for proposing steep cuts to public housing, showing photos of horrific health/safety conditions. "Would you let your grandmother live in public housing, under these conditions?" Carson refuses to answer.

“I am outraged because this is outrageous. This nation was built on the backs and grown in the wombs of women, and our rights are not up for debate.”
We will continue to organize, mobilize, and legislate to #StopTheBans! pic.twitter.com/pTuvRuGUfM
